RockRose Executive Chairman, Andrew Austin said:

 

"2018 was a busy year for RockRose Energy. We integrated the acquisitions of Idemitsu, Egerton and Sojitz, which completed at the close of 2017, returned capital to shareholders, agreed and closed the further acquisitions of Dyas B.V and our 30.4% interest in the Arran Field, agreed the FDP on Arran and tendered for 20% of the equity in the company.

 

We continue to invest in the organic growth of our portfolio, while also actively evaluating acquisition opportunities. The recent decline in the oil price, combined with the strength of our balance sheet and absence of any debt, potentially presents further value accretive acquisition opportunities for RockRose."
